Chapter 937 - 715: A Long-Awaited Kiss (Part 2)
This time, he finally couldn’t maintain his surface calm, his deep magnetic voice carrying a slight tremble.
Shen Tang almost couldn’t hold back a laugh when she heard this.
The warm yet slightly melancholic atmosphere of their reunion was quickly diluted.
But thinking about it, they hadn’t seen each other for almost five months. It wasn’t impossible for her to have had a nest of snake babies during this time.
Shen Tang suppressed her laughter, "Do you think it looks like me?"
Lu Xiao seriously looked at the Little Snake and felt that this Little White Snake was carved from the same mold as Xue Yinzhou, without a trace of Shen Tang. If it were really her child, then she’d suffered a loss as a mother.
He quickly realized, "Is this... Xue Yinzhou? You found him? What happened?"
Shen Tang promptly gave a brief explanation of the past few months, including how Xue Yinzhou was afflicted by the Parasite Clan’s Gu Worm and had to be reborn.
"So that’s how it is." Lu Xiao gently ruffled her hair, "You’ve suffered."
The Little Snake listened in a daze, the mist that obscured its memory seemed to clear a little, as if something was about to emerge.
Suddenly, its tail tip quivered slightly, its body slowly taking on a pink hue.
It and its sister were actually partners?
Although many things were still unclear, it knew what "partner" meant.
The male in front of it, is he here to steal its sister?
The Little Snake suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis, unfriendly towards Lu Xiao, it flicked its tongue and circled more tightly around the female, not wanting him to approach.
Lu Xiao fell into a moment of silence. Even though Xue Yinzhou temporarily lost memory and sense, this possessive instinct was truly engraved within.
Shen Tang also found it amusing, knowing that Xue Yinzhou’s memories and emotions were slowly returning, which was a good thing.
But she needed to speak with Lu Xiao now, so she gently patted the Little Snake’s head, softly saying, "I have important matters to discuss with this brother, you go back to the space and rest for now."
Though unwilling, the Little Snake nodded and was put back into the space by her.
The mountain wind blew, leaving only the two of them again.
The previously interrupted atmosphere, momentarily eased by the Little Snake, became stagnant once more.
Shen Tang looked up at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her gaze lovingly tracing every contour of his features.
He seemed thinner, his face showing signs of fatigue, stirring her heart.
She reached out to gently caress his face, softly saying, "Ah Xiao, you’ve lost weight."
Lu Xiao also lowered his head, gazing tenderly at her.
The female’s eyes and brows were more mature and sharp than before, honed by war and adversity, long since shedding the greenness from their first meeting, like a blade drawn from its sheath.
Yet in his presence, she still exuded such gentle tenderness,
making his heart almost melt.
His Tangtang.
His Female Master.
His Your Majesty.
In these nearly six months apart, she had grown a lot too.
"That fox raised you well, you haven’t lost weight," he said with a slight tease.
Shen Tang gently laughed, reaching out to wrap her arms around his waist, burying her face deeply into his embrace, greedily inhaling his scent.
Like a cat catching a whiff of catnip, so infatuated.
She murmured, "...Ah Xiao, I’ve missed you so much."
In this moment, no sweet words could compare to this sentiment filled with longing.
"I missed you too." Lu Xiao wrapped one arm around her waist, his Adam’s apple moving, his voice growing even more hoarse.
Only by holding her tightly could Lu Xiao believe that this wasn’t a dream, that it was all real.
Unable to contain his longing any longer, he gently cupped the female’s soft face with his other hand, lowering his head to kiss her lips, tenderly exploring and caressing.
Lu Xiao kissed her lips lightly, then slowly moved to the corner of her mouth, kissing over her eyes, every inch filled with utmost tenderness, expressing his yearning and perseverance.
Even after such a long separation, the man remained as patient and gentle as before. Shen Tang only felt her heart swell with a sweet and sour sensation, like sweet sugar coating a tangy jam.
She couldn’t care to remain reserved, actively leaning in to return the kiss passionately.
Lu Xiao knew very well that this wasn’t the time to express yearning, intending to restrain his emotions, but her response made him completely lose control.
His breathing became irregular too.
Thinking to himself: Just indulge this one time.
The last time.
He closed his eyes, surrendering to the lingering tenderness, quickly turning from passive to active, his large hand pressing firmly on Shen Tang’s slender waist, pulling her deeper into his embrace, the veins on his arm standing out.
Kissed by him until she could barely breathe, Shen Tang let out a soft whimper, her body gradually weakening.
Lu Xiao took a deep breath, slowly releasing her, deeply gazing at the blush-stained alluring female before him.
